PALM TUNES OCTOBER 2013

" Palm Tunes, Happy Tunes "


Lovely November;

We have no time to share any music articles last few months and haven't release August and September chart but be sure that we listened and collected lots of beautiful songs in many genres. But at first we want to talk about our personal stars of last months. To be honest, Disco genre is more captivating last year and for us there were more original and unique productions at the scene. This year Disco and Nu Disco genres proceeded to another phase with Deep house, G-House and UK Garage and we loved this combination. 

Last months and especially October is the month of Chris Baio' s month with his tremendous EP named "Mira" and of course Australian Jarrah McCleary who has released second EP "Always" under the moniker Panama. Both of two artists released their productions from Aussie label Future Classic and this label deserves to be on top again. UK is on attack last mont with the stars Route 94, Bodhi; Boean, and Ejeca. In addition to these names  pioneer of the genre Goldroom and The Magician released fantastic works and also Chromeo and Cut Copy shared new songs of their upcoming albums and you shouldn't miss them. 

Out of disco stuff if you want to listen some sounds; you should listen Irish based producer Mano Le Tough aka Niall Mannion we addicted his productions last few months and take notice of a Spanish Label called "Suara"; maybe Suara is the most soaring label of 2013 in electronic dance music scene.

This month we gave place mostly disco based house productions that mostly released on October; including TACHES, Chordashian, Patafunk, The Magician, Gold Fields, L D R U and many more... These are the palmier tunes of October and hope you enjoy our selection.

This is Palm Tunes October 2013 and you can also listen Palm Tape on our soundcloud page. Dream, Smile, Believe; Respect, Dance and Luvenjoooy!!!

GROOVEU & ROOM4SPACE (Interview & Guestmix)



Herkese merhaba;

Yaz sıcağının bunaltıcı etkisini gösterdiği şu günlerde, birçokları için tatil zamanı çoktan başladı bile… Birçokları için ise gündelik yaşamın koşuşturmasından kaçar kaçmaz ilk fırsatta kumsala uzanıp güneş banyosu molalarında buz gibi sularda serinleyecekleri; akabinde ise henüz kesilmemiş iki palmiye ağacının arasına bağlanmış hamak üstünde içeceklerini yudumlayıp hafif hafif akan melodiler eşliğinde günbatımının tadına varacakları bir tatil rüyası hala mevcut.

Bim De La Disco olarak bu seferki konuklarımız tam da bu iki hal içerisindeki bünyelere melodileriyle birebir gelecek cinsten; tatil üstü krema ya da çölde giderken bir tatil serabı hissettirebilme etkisi yaratmaya muktedir bir ikili; Kemal Öztürk ve Emre Şenol yani nam-ı diğer bilinen adlarıyla GrooveU ve Room4Space.

Ürettikleri buram buram yaz kokan tınılarla bünyede dört mevsim yaz esintisi hissettiren ve kanımızca Memleket semalarından son dönemde yükselen en önemli nu disco emekçileri arasında bulunan, takdirimizi çoktan kazanıp namlarını ülke sınırlarının dışına taşımış; “See U Again” ve “Aruba Sunset” adlı güzide parçaların yaratıcısı söz konusu ikiliyle internet aracılığıyla gerçekleştirdiğimiz söyleşi ve Bim De La Disco için özel olarak seçtikleri taptaze parçalardan oluşturdukları guestmix ile karşınızdayız.

Umarız her nerede ve her ne koşuldaysanız arkanıza yaslanıp biraz olsun yapmış olduğumuz söyleşi ve sunmaktan onur duyduğumuz ikilinin tropik melodileriyle bir nebze olsun rahatlar ve bambaşka, huzur dolu diyarlara yolculuk yaparsınız. Keyifle…

ZIMMER(Interview)

Happier Melodies Before Sunset and Afterglow


Dream a day, a perfect day; especially a cheerful afternoon full of sunny skies, fresh air, passionate feelings and smiling faces; at this very  moment a Parisian gentleman takes his place  to supply the background melodies, melodies which make you happier and  take you higher. As Bim De La Disco, we are proud to present our personal favorite beatific DJ and producer Baptiste Zimmer who is beter known as “Zimmer”, the creator of  these happiness infusing melodies..

Zimmer, who has grown up between France and California first cought our attention with his single “Cruisin” that after  its release , made  him a member of the Discotexas Family. He has many remixes, edits and reworks of such names as Kamp!, Jean Winner, Pompeya, Moon Boots, Montevideo, Chic, Tina Turner and many more in his discography and he is also the emperor of Horizontal Disco, which sounds like down tempo disco tunes full of warm and happy melodies. This Parisian gentleman is also the mixing master of his addictive monthy tapes which are products of his mixing mastery, that you will not keep yourself from listening.

As Bim De la Disco, we have spoken with multicultural talented Parisian Dj and producer via internet to discuss his career, future plans, influences, daily life and disco stuff before his upcoming show on Friday(19/04) at the club 1888,  which has become a trademark of night life in İzmir.


Bir gün hayal edin, mükemmel bir gün; özellikle güneş ışıklarıyla dolu, taptaze bir havanın olduğu, tutkulu duygular ve gülümseyen yüzlerin hakim olduğu hoş bir akşam üstünü; işte bu noktada Parisli bir beyefendi kendinizi mutlu hissetmenizi sağlayan ve sizi yükseklere çıkaran melodileriyle fon müziği için yerini alıyor. Bim De La Disco olarak söz konusu mutluluk verici melodilerin yaratıcısı ve şahsi favori Dj ve prodüktörümüz olan Zimmer’ i sizlere sunmaktan gurur duyuyoruz.

Fransa ve Kaliforniya arasında büyüyen Zimmer ilk olarak dikkatimizi “Cruisin” adııyla yayımladığı ve kendisinin akabinde Discotexas Ailesi’ nin bir üyesi olmasını sağlayan çalışmasıyla çekti. Külliyatında Kamp!, Jean Winner, Pompeya, Moon Boots, Montevideo, Chic, Tina Turner ve bir çok isime yaptığı remix, düzenleme ve yeniden çalışmalar bulunan Zimmer; aynı zamanda sıcak ve mutlu melodilerle dolu hafif tempo disco tınılarının hakimiyetindeki Horizontal Disco’ nun imparatorudur. Bahsi geçen Paris beyefendisi aynı zamanda kendinizi kesinlikle dinlemekten alıkoyamayacağınız, mixing üstadı olduğu bağımlılık yaratan aylık tapelerin de sahibidir.

Bim De La Disco olarak çok kültürlü ve yetenekli Parisli Dj ve prodüktör ile bu Cuma(19/04) İzmir’ in gece hayatındaki marka kulübü 1888’ de gerçekleşecek olan performansı öncesi internet aracılığıyla kariyeri, gelecek planları, gündelik yaşantısı ve disco hakkında konuştuk. 


1-We know that you are a dual cultural musician and you have lived in so many cities including Berlin and Guadalajara ; we would first like to know where you come from and how did the cities that you live impress your musical style? What is it mean of being at Home for you?
I was born in Annecy, a small French city in the Alps. I mainly grew up there, but I also spent time in California. During my studies I moved to Paris. I’ve travelled a bit after that, living in Berlin and Guadalajara (Mexico). Berlin opened up my mind to deeper music. Mexico was an amazing place for disco. I’m Back in Paris now, and that’s really where I feel at home.

2- What was the main thing that affected your mind to produce music and when did it happen? What’s your Muse when you produce your melodies, what are your inspirations?
I’ve been Djing for a long time. Around 2010, I really got into Nu Disco, and thought I should give a go at producing it. Hopefully it didn’t take too long to make decent tunes, so I kept doing it. About inspiration, it sounds cheesy but I’m very affected by the weather. For instance I had my most productive run when I was living in Mexico last year. I need sunshine to produce.

3- Our motto is “Palm Tunes, Happy Tunes” and we think that especially your Horizontal Disco sound suits our motto very well. How do you describe Zimmer sound and what are the differences between Horizontal Disco and Vertical Disco?
Basically Horizontal Disco is the more down-tempo, chill stuff. Vertical Disco is produced with the dancefloor in mind. My music is melodic, yet electronic. I want my music to take you somewhere away from the present, to be emotional. I like to picture the situations where people would enjoy it, making it like a movie soundtrack.

4- When we listen your sounds and your splendidly  addictive “Zimmer Tapes”, we feel like and imagine being at the beach before sunset and afterglow wearing a basic tshirt and comfortable shorts and dancing barefoot with a big smile on our faces. What’s your favorite place to play; a big venue, a small club, beach or etc. And which was your unforgettable show?
To be honest, you’ve pretty much described my favourite place to play ! I’ve played a party like this in Mexico last year, on a desert beach, with only about 100 people, it was amazing. Anything outdoors is always fantastic. Clubs are cool too. Smallers are more fitted for disco, but a big one can be fun from time to time. It’s harder to feel the people though. I play barefoot whenever I can, even in clubs.

5- Two years ago you first  fascinated us with your first EP “Cruisin” that was released via Discotexas. Discotexas is one of our favorite labels over the last years and you are one of the unique stars and creators of soulful melodies of that talented family. Who discovered and supported you in the beginning and what’s the story behind signing with Discotexas? 
It’s a pretty simple story indeed. As an aspiring producer, I’ve always told myself I should wait until I’m really happy about a song to send it out. I made Cruisin’ in October 2010. It took me a few months to polish it, and once it was ready I send it out to my 3 favorite producers. One of them was Moullinex. He replied instantly, and gave me a few advices to make the tune better. Once that was done, he asked if he could play it in a mixtape. I was so excited that evening! A couple days later I got an email asking for more tracks from Hugo, the Discotexas manager. That was it, my musical career had started!

6- Lastly you released remixes for Jean Winner, Pompeya, Jupiter and at the end Kamp!’s song “Melt”; what’s next for Zimmer musically in 2013 and in the near future and please tell us your producing, remixing process?
I’m working on a whole bunch of projects right now. Last year was big for remixes, so I’m trying to focus back on original material right now. I’ve got a new single coming up, with an amazing vocal featuring. It’s really horizontal disco. We’re finishing up right now. A couple other housier originals are almost done too. I’m of course also working on new remixes. Just finished one for Moullinex, and I’m working on 2 others for big pop singers. I’m pretty busy in the studio these days!

7- Please tell us how do you select such amazing tunes and combine them skillfully and make us feel like we are in a journey to happiness with your Monthly Tapes?  Rest assured that we can’t wait for your tapes!
Glad you like them! Actually I put a lot of effort in finding new unheard tunes. I dig music in so many places, I don’t just stick to promos. Once I have a preselection of 40 / 50 tracks, I get behind the decks to find the best progression. I always try to tell a story with the mix, to have an idea driving it. It’s not just a chart mix. People are starting to feel that, it makes me really happy.

8- What do you think about nu-disco scene generally in 2013 and the future? Is it going more deeper dreamy house or  does 80’s sounds leave their place to 90’s sounds , especially hip hop and R&B? Do the trending sounds affect your production?
Production wise, that trend has of course affected me a little, but I really try not to deviate too much from what I deeply like. There’s a lot less disco based music out there these days, which is a shame!  Despite that, I think The R&B vocal trend will soon be over, almost every hit has been sampled to this point. I’m curious to see what’s next.

9- Would you tell us your daily life and how do you spent your time out of producing music, what’re your favorite foods, drinks, places to hang out, listen music and etc.?
I actually still have a part time day job as a designer, so producing music is a small part of my daily life. Regarding the food question, I love eating, always curious to taste new food when traveling to play shows. In Paris I live in Pigalle, it’s a great neighborhood to hang out, and there’s Montmartre right next door for nice Sunday walks. The only thing I miss in Paris is the beach.

12- How much do you know about disco scene in Turkey? You’ll play with Discolog one of the talented Dj/Producers here and We know you played a song called “See U Again” from Turkish duo Grooveu & Room4space in your “Day Dreams I February Tape”. 
Honestly I don’t know much about the scene. That “See U Again” track is the first I heard coming from Turkey. Moullinex and Aeroplane both told me 1888 is a fun place to play, so I’m looking forward. 

13- We suppose that it’s your first time for a gig in İzmir and also in Turkey. 1888 is an authentic club which is located at an old Greek House that has a small but burning dancefloor and a lovely big garden encircled with a gorgeous ambiance, full of music fans curious for your melodies. We are ready for  your soulful summer vibes and beater Vertical Disco sounds. What should we expect from you, what’s your advise and what do you expect from us?
Sounds fantastic! Can’t wait to see it. Expect a good blend of disco grooves, italo, tropical tunes and classic house. Don’t be afraid of slower BPMs as well. I try to play for the people, not for myself. I hope you guys will be curious, open and ready to dance. See you on Friday!
